Lazy Sunday Afternoon

The biggest and smallest members of our house are asleep. MrG would have been very annoyed if I'd photographed him sleeping so instead here's the smallest one Omar.
While the others sleep I'm in the back yard looking at the dress pattern I've just bought. It's been a very long time since I made any clothes. Usually the fear of it being a disaster dissolves any motivation... This dress is my holiday sewing project and my mantra... go slow, follow the pattern, iron seams when told to, be patience and unpick if necessary. Will see how I go!

This is the fabric I've chosen. I just love the blue in it and if the dress works there is a cardigan in Verinika Maine that matches perfectly.
